The Court granted Ramirez’s request and extended the deadline for filing a response. On January 11, 2023, Ramirez filed a second motion to extend the deadline for filing a response, requesting the deadline be extended an additional seven days, making the deadline to file January 25, 2023. The motion states the requested extension is not opposed by any party. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 (a)(5), 10.3(a)(2). Ramirez’s motion is granted. The deadline for filing a response to the petition for writ of mandamus is extended to January 25, 2023. It is so ORDERED.
